Characteristics of a good governance framework
- Crisp articulation of the mission, vision, core values, and principles by which the company operates
- Outline of the organization structure, reporting lines, and responsibilities for functional and operational elements of the organization
- Clarity on ownership of governance, policies, and control activities
- Expression of the core business processes and how they interface
- The framework for assuring compliance
